The cysteine2/histidine2-type zinc finger proteins are a large family of transcription regulators, and some of them play essential roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. In this study, we found that expression of C2H2-type ZINC FINGER OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA6 (AtZAT6) was transcriptionally induced by salt, dehydration, cold stress treatments, and pathogen infection, and AtZAT6 w...

Coronatine is a phytotoxin produced by some plant-pathogenic bacteria. It has been shown that coronatine mimics the action of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in plants. MeJA is a plant-signaling molecule involved in stress responses such as wounding and pathogen attack. In Arabidopsis thaliana, MeJA is essential for pollen grain development. The coi1 (for coronatine-insensitive) mutant of Arabidopsis, ...

The plant-specific LBD (LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES domain) genes belong to a major family of transcription factor that encode a zinc finger-like domain. It has been shown that LBD genes play crucial roles in the growth and development of Arabidopsis and other plant species. However, no detailed information concerning this family is available for apple. In the present study, we analyzed the apple ...

In order to evaluate the relationship between morphological characters in rice lines two populations at F3 generation were grown in research field of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resource University, Sari, Iran, during 2012. Statistical analysis on important agronomic traits showed that maximum standard deviation belonged to total grain number followed by filled grains per panicle and grai...

drought is one on the most important factors limiting the productivity of spring chickpea in drylands of iran. sixtym genotypes of chickpea from icarda's germplasm accessions, as well as one drought susceptible check (ilc 3279), were sown in spring of 2010 at two locations, sanandaj and maragheh, in the western highlands of iran for one year. the experiment in each location was laid out in a ra...

to evaluate of quantitative and qualitative yield of two basil (ocimum basilicum l.) medicinal plants as affected by planting pattern and plant density, an experiment carried out in factorial arrangement basis on randomized complete block design with three replications. two varieties (green and purple) of basil, two planting patterns (single and double row) and four plant densities (40, 60, 80 ...
